Find a Good Designer

Preconstruction Services, Cost Estimating

Project & Contract Administration

LEED Consultation & Implementation

Get Real About Your Budget

The primary source of conflict and melodrama in the building process is budget. Set your number, and then listen. If you have a reputable builder or contractor, trust him or her to tell you what things cost. And don’t get stuck on the cost-per-square-foot metric. If you are building or remodeling know what you can afford to spend. Start there, and have your builder and architect walk you through your options and explain how real-time costs are established.

The public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with.– THOMAS BODINE

And maybe that land isn’t a few acres that’s never been trampled on. Maybe it’s an existing house that’s just old and tired and has suffered some neglect. The house whispers to you that it really does want to shed those avocado colored appliances, that shag carpeting, and those single-pane windows, and you know you’re the person to do that.

Small Conclusion

While you might think you can go it alone, assembling a team of tried and true professionals is the better approach. After all, you wouldn’t represent yourself in court. So why wouldn’t you entrust your single largest investment to an experienced team that won’t be learning on your dime? An architect and a builder (if not one and the same) are going to be your most important team members.

I spent 5 years planning/designing/drafting our house while living on the 20 acres in an apartment above the workshop I had designed and built myself. By the time it came to cutting lumber and pounding nails I knew every aspect of the process.
